BREAKING: The federal government is restoring its funding to Hockey Canada, saying the organization must fulfil several conditions in exchange for the financial support.
In a statement released Sunday by Hockey Canada, Fraser said the government's announcement represented "an important milestone for Hockey Canada in our journey to earn and maintain the trust of Canadians.
CBC News reported last month that the government was considering restoring funding to the organization. Hockey Canada received $7.7 million from Sport Canada — a department of Heritage Canada — in the 2022 fiscal year but their funding has been frozen for 10 months.A financial statement also shows the organization ended the fiscal year in June with $98 million. Kate Bahen, managing director of Charity Intelligence Canada, told CBC News last month that "Hockey Canada does not need the money.
The funding is conditional on the organization meeting several expectations, the sport minister said. The organization will need to update the government on their work on changing the culture of hockey; implementing recommendations of two reports; and promoting the government's safe sport program for athletes and member organizations."I appreciate the steps taken thus far by the organization as we work to rebuild the culture of hockey in Canada," St-Onge wrote.
